THE FRENCHMANS DINNER
Happy and Care Free In the Even
Ins In the True Partition
The Frenchman with all his polite
ness and little niceties Is not a good
dresser He is nowhere near the class
of the London man nor can he equal
the Baltimore man wo gives thought
to his wardrobe This of course ap
plies to generalities There are ex
ceptions where the Frenchman Is a
model of the tailors and haberdashers
skill
As a rule however there are other
things that mean much more to him
than mere clothes For instance he
likes to dine Every Frenchman in
the proper sense of the word dines
In the evening He prefers highly sea
soned food if he can get it and service
of a corresponding degree of excel
lence But dine he must and dine he
will If not a good dinner then a poor
one He must have his soup his fish
a roast an entree some salad dessert
and a bit of cheese With this he has
wine the vintage regulated by the
size of his bank roll His coffee In
the summer time he will take outside
with a cigarette or cigar and his en
joyment is not complete unless he
hears the strains of an orchestra
He is not perhaps so passionately
fond of music as the German but still
he likes it and will have it If he can
afford it He Is gay and happy in the
evenings is the Frenchman and his
cares whatever they are he dismisses
tomporarily He rises late and he
dines late Nine oclock is about the
proper hour for the coffee after he has
paid his respects to the various
courses Then he is ready for the gay
life When London is going to bed
Paris Is just beginning to warm up

THE FATE OF CAPTAIN LEE
A Debt of Gratitude That This Conn
try Owes to Spain
During the summer of 177G Captain
John Lee of Marblehead cruising un
der a commission from congress hav
ing taken and sent home five valuable
prizes entered the port of Bilbao in
Spain The captains of two of his
prizes and a part of their crews were
on board These officers immediately
protested against their capture and had
Captain Lee arrested on a charge of
piracy The local authorities sent the
documents In the case to Madrid to
gether with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power
In the decision of the Spanish min
istry depended not alone the fate of
Captain Lee but whether some of the
most important ports in Europe should
be opened or closed to American crui
sers and privateers The English min
ister in Spain brought all his influence
to bear against Captain Lee At this
moment the Declaration of the Fourth
of July reached Madrid The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed
supplies for his ship and aid in repair
ing it were furnished and public dec
laration was made that in Spanish ports
the new flag of America was as free
and as welcome as was the flag of Eng
land
Spain like France also helped the
United States with 1000000 francs
and with cargoes of military stores

The Longest Resident
The poverty of the English language
is exemplified by a circular which is
making the rounds of a suburb and -invites
subscriptions to a testimonial to
the station master It conies from one
who styles himself the longest resi
dent the sad physical fact being that
he is probably the shortest although
in bulk and rotundity lie makes up for
the inches he lacks in height Here Is
a case in which the very clumsiness of
the German language would be an in
estimable help for then this gentleman
could quite correctly describe himself
the for-the-longest-time-herein resid
ing or even perhaps the
individ
ual Those compound adjectives of the
Teutons may be awkAvard but they
express what the user means and in
sure accuracy London Standard
A Taste That Age Withers
According to a member of the candy
loving sex there is no sadder evidence
of age in a woman than being able to
pass a bonbon shop without being
tempted by the wares When a
woman can do this she says she is
frankly middle aged During your
school days chocolates are a recog
nized necessity of existence During
the early bud period of matinee hero
worship they are indispensable to the
enjoyment of a performance When
your mouth does not water at the mere
idea of a caramel or a raarshmallow
begin to search for the first gray hair

Good For Evil
There are some people who turn gray
but do not grow hoary whose faces are
furrowed but not wrinkled whose
hearts are sore wounded in many
places but are not dead There is a
youth that bids defiance to old age and
there is a kindness which laughs at the
worlds usage These are they who
have returned good for evil Whom
the gods love die young and they die
young because they never grow old

Ballooning as
A Society Fad
sporting element of high so
ciety having exhausted the pos
sibilities of excitement offered
by a hundred horsepower auto
mobile has gone In for ballooning
Automobiles are getting cheaper every
year and society caunot share any
sport with the common people Bal
looning is no poor mans game The
Nirvana of Dr Julian P Thomas holds
50000 cubic feet of gas In its big bag
and even if the New York court of
appeals should sustain the eighty cent
gas law his bills will continue to be
large enough to scare any one but a
millionaire Besides there is an exhila
ration In flying above the clouds which
Is not to be found in more earthly
pastimes
At first the novelty of serenely float
ing 8000 feet above the ground sufficed
to rearouse the blase smart setters
but that mild form of amusement soon
palled upon them and now they must
race one another through the upper
air Before long we shall hear of regu
lar aerial race meets with bookmakers
in attendance for the benefit of those
who can enjoy no sport without hav
ing a little something on it as they
say in England The Aero Club or
America has established a station at
Pittsfleld Mass from which place Mrs
Julian P Thomas started on the first
balloon excursion made by an Ameri
can society woman at home and the
summer colony at Lenox six miles
away has gone crazy over the ascen
sions Other American women than
Mrs Thomas have taken up balloon
ing but their ascents have been made
mostly in France Among those who
have gone up there with Comte Henri

BAIiIiOON BACK UNDER AUSPICES OP ENG
LISH AEKO CLUB
to take part in the fall races which
are expected to eclipse the Yanderbilt
cup automobile race on Long Island
Recently the English Aero club held
a race from Ranelagh to Ingatestone
in Essex in which seven balloons com
peted Frank Butler in the Dolce Far
Niente Avon though owing to light
winds he lacked nine miles of reaching
the goal Several ladies were pas
sengers in the craft which took part
in the race
Like most society fads that of bal
looning started in that dear Paris
whence it speedily flew to England and
then across the Atlantic Of the Brit
ish advocates of the new sport no one
is more enthusiastic than Professor
A K Huntington of Kings college
Avho is also a celebrated authority on
dirigible airships He looks upon bal
looning as a healthy invigorating sport
and one which should be encouraged
in every possible Avay
Of course ballooning will continue
he says We mean to make it do so
We have had a good deal of hard work
to eleAate the sport to its present pros
perous condition but the tide has
turned and people are taking up the
idea all over the country Serious
danger has been eliminated In charge
of a man with a cool head and reason
able judgment a balloon is certainly
as safe as an automobile if not safer
Personally I am very partial to night
trips in a balloon It seems to me that
conditions are then more favorable
that the air is more refreshing and the
A iews to be obtained more captivating
It is curious hOAV refreshed I feel after
a night ascent and other people I know
have had the same experience
Orders for balloons are simply pour
ing in said a British manufacturer
the other day During the last two
years an enormous change has taken
place in the character of our business
PreA iously avo Avere occupied with lit
tle else than the construction of mili
tary balloons for the Indian govern
ment and captive balloons for fair
and shows Today most of our orders
come from private individuals who
have seen the pleasure -to be derived
from practicing the sport
With the change in our business
the science of balloon construction has
advanced until we have conquered
every cause of danger We look upon
the ballooning craze as useful in eAery
sense It is a healthy sport and free
from every taint of professionalism
Then a large army of individuals is
being trained to inhabit the air and to
bo accustomed to ascend and descend
Thus when the real steeable balloon
or mechanical airship arrives we shall
be ready for it
TENNYSONS MOODS
Eccentric Manner In Wlilch the Poe
Received Some Visitors
It was an eccentric reception that
Sir Henry Rosco was givon when he
visited Lord Tennyson Tho former
had been unwilling to intrudo on the
poet but consented to accompany a
friend William Summers who had a
note of Introduction from Sir Lewis
Morris They found Tennyson at
lunch Sir Henry writes of It Ten
nyson at once asked me to sit by him
while Mr Summers was held in con
versation at the other side of the room
by Lady Tennyson The old man be
gan with the words Your name has
been before me at every meal at
which I expressed great astonishment
not thinking that he had ever heard
of me
And thereupon he produced a small
vial containing saccharin on the out
side of which was an advertisement
containing a few lines of some appre
ciatory remarks respecting saccharin
which I had made in a lecture at the
Royal Institute This notice I had
never seen and on my return home I
wrote to the proprietors requesting
them to stop issuing such notices as I
could not have my name used for ad
vertising purposes and this they did
In a few minutes without further
conversation Tennyson rose and said
Well I must bid you goodby for I
must now lie down I am going to
smoke a cigar and go to sleep Upon
which he walked out of the room giv
ing a distant nod to my disconsolate
friend Will Summers who had come
on purpose to Interview the poet but
with whom he had not exchanged a
single word
MATCHES ON MAIL BOXES
The Scratcher May After ward Get a
Light on Prison Bars
Mr Smoker see to it that your Un
cle Samuel doesnt catch you striking
a match on one of his mall boxes
Hell surely make trouble for you if
he can prove that a certain scratch on
the metal of one of those gray boxes
on the corners was made by your draw
ing the tip of a lucifer ncrossuit
Thats about Avhat the man carrier
told the fellow who is handing you
this advice It was given just after
the adviser had stopped feeling
smoky after coming out of an office
Avhere they AAouldnt let him puff the
stogie he had in his pocket to scratch
a match on the mail box He was
rather sin prised when the mail carrier
coming up to unlock the box said
Dont do that
Why not he queried IA e been
doing it for years It doesnt hurt the
box Other felloAvs and myself have
scratched matches on the top of this
mail box for years and there is only
a little AAorn patch on the metal to
for it
Well go ahead if you AA ant to
sighed the mail carrier But remem
ber that If the inspector sees you up
you go on a charge of defacing govern
ment property And you know that if
the inspector ever gets you its you for
scratching matches on the prison bars

How the Great Penguin Hatches
It may Interest you to knoAv that
the great penguin of the southern cir

a mans waist hatches its eggs In a pe
culiar manner These are not laid
upon the ground and brooded on after
the manner of most birds eggs The
female lays two large eggs The first
she hands over to the male bird the
other she keeps The egg is held on
the upper surface of the large flat feet
and is pushed up under the Avaistcoat
of thick feathers It is there held close
to the body AA hose warmth gradually
Aitalizes the young bird So tenacious
are the parent birds of this grip that if
you knock one of them over it AAill fall
on its back AAith Its feet stuck stiffly
out still clutching the egg to its body
